We are almost a week into the Free Agency period and a lot has happened for the Rams. Whitworth is a starter at LT, Woods comes in the starting lineup at WR, Webster will battle for a CB spot, and Groy has a shot at being our starting C. So many holes have been filled for the Rams, but their are many other places that need to be addressed. So let's begin..
2.5 (37) Fabian Moreau CB UCLA (6' 206)
Moreau is an athlete that has long speed, smooth hips and has a high ceiling. Solid size and a fluid athlete, Moreau has the tools to develop into a pro bowl CB. Why isn't he being talked about in the 1st round? He has had limited exposure and played in a very basic UCLA defense. Will need some coaching but you can not teach his level of athleticism.
3.5 (69) Bucky Hodges TE VT (6'6 257)
I had Hodges as a 4th round pick in my first mock but it seems even though he isn't much of a blocker and can barely get into a three point stance the mock drafting community he has him going muc higher than I originally thought. Dynamic athlete, with tools to be a redzone monster and can line up on the outside. Will need help with his route running and overall basics of the TE position, but here is another athlete with tools that can't be taught.
4.5 (112) Amara Darboh WR Mich (6'2 214)
The Rams don't really have a true deep threat, insert Amara Darboh. Good size and speed he can use that to his advantage for the deep ball. Played for Jim Harbaugh who expects his WRs to have an edge and be good blockers, so that's a plus. Catches with his body too often and can be sloppy on his routes. But just give him some routes to compliment his athleticism and he can open up the field.
4.36 (141) Vince Biegel OLB Wisc (6'3 246)
Maybe not as physically skilled as TJ Watt, but is an extremely hard worker who could fill in as a backup edge rusher and fill in as a core special teamer. Voted team captain so that's always a plus.
5.5 (149) James Conner RB Pitt (6'1 233)
James Conner has an LA story. Mentally tough hard worker who could come in as backup and goal line back. He can be a solid backup and has the size and willingness to be a pass pro specialist with the ability to also be a receiver. A solid number two option.
6.5 (189) Ben Boulware ILB Clem (6' 233)
A bit undersized and not the quickest player, but reminds me of Danny Trevathen who was a stud in college but had similar issues. Boulware is a better football player than athlete and could provide depth and special team value.
7.5 (223) Chuck Clark DB VT (6' 208)
Another Hokie, Clark is nothing special athletically but is instinctive and could play a valuable special teams role while also providing depth at the nickel corner position or at safety. Beamer might be gone from the Hokies, but beamer ball is still in every Hokies blood.
7.16 (234) Dan Skipper OT Ark (6'10 309)
A swing tackle that is appealing at 6'10, but you have to be careful with extremely tall players and their lack of ability to bend. Arkansas has a run first system that might be interesting with such a long frame.
